2023 feels like a distant memory in some ways. It was the year of the Barbenheimer phenomenon, the final season of Succession , and critically acclaimed music from Lana Del Rey and Olivia Rodrigo. Despite only two years passing, it feels like a long time ago, especially regarding superhero movies.
I didn’t think it was great, but I don’t think that I was the target audience. I didn’t think that Guardians of the Galaxy III was good either, but that wasn’t targeted at me, either. If I was 8, it would have been great.
It wasn’t bad, it was just another marvel movie. They’re pretty formulaic at this point, to fault the script, universe, effects or acting is silly - it’s all the same across 100 movies. It’s good, it works. If you’re the target of this movie, you’ll like it. If not, you’ll like it less. It’s hardly controversial, it’s just marketing.
